After falling and breaking both ankles and both legs, Rebecca Clark came to Encore Rehabilitation-Gulfport Downtown for Physical Therapy.

“I was given exercises to strengthen my legs and ankles. Matt is awesome and did amazing work on me! I can now walk with no cane. I’ve improved dramatically and I’m a lot stronger. This team, Doug, Matt, and John, were amazing. The front desk, Sharon and Hannah, were awesome. If I feel I need further therapy, I will return to this team. I would recommend Encore Rehabilitation to my family and friends.“~Rebecca Clark, patient

Thank you, Ms. Clark, for choosing Encore Rehabilitation-Gulfport Downtown to be your rehab provider! We are proud of you and your hard work!

Ms. Flores says, “I had a hard time doing basic everyday things like opening a water bottle, putting my hair up, and eating, but now I’m very thankful to be able to do all these tasks on my own thanks to the great therapists that helped me.”

Thank you, Ms. Flores, for choosing Encore! We are proud to select you as Patient of the Month for Encore Rehabilitation-Enterprise!

“When I came into rehab, I learned that I was walking incorrectly which led to most of my pain. I learned to loosen up my muscles and straighten up my walk so that I don’t waddle but walk straight ahead. I am now much more mobile and able to do more activities and with no pain. I chose Encore Rehabilitation-Columbiana because the clinic was conveniently located and I had past experience with them. I would absolutely recommend Encore. I love my therapists!” ~ Janet Parson, patient

Thank you, Ms. Parson, for choosing Encore! We are so happy you can move again without pain!
